April 15 is the deadline for earning a $100 gift card when you complete a StayWell health assessment.
An eligible employee receives a $100 gift card and a spouse or domestic partner receives a $50 gift card. The cards may be used at dozens of retailers, restaurants, specialty shops, and online stores as well as for donations to several charities.
The health assessment is a tool for learning how your lifestyle habits can affect your health and well-being.
After you complete a confidential online questionnaire – a process that takes roughly 10 minutes – the StayWell program immediately provides you with a personalized health report.
The report can tell you about health risks you didn’t know you had; offer information on relevant topics such as weight management and high blood pressure; and give you tools and guidance for making positive health behavior changes, including follow-up wellness coaching, if appropriate.
The University offers the health assessment as part of its commitment to the well being of its employees. Your personal health information and the StayWell assessment remain private. UC never receives any individual health information about StayWell participants. You also control whether to share your health assessment with your medical plan.
To qualify for the $100 gift card, eligible employees must be enrolled in a UC medical plan (except Kaiser) on January 1, 2010 and complete the health assessments by April 15, 2010. Even if you or your spouse/partner completed a health assessment and received a gift card in 2009, you are encouraged to participate again this year.
Kaiser members are eligible to participate in the Kaiser health assessment program. Represented employees should check to see if their union has agreed to participate in the StayWell program.
